He felt himself in the embarrassment in which the Saire of Marshtield unce found himself. He had entertained opinions in favor of native Americanism, and had published the first articles that had eyer appeared in Kentucky on that subject. So, hearing that there was a partv -ranized,on that idea, and which at the same time proclaimed very high-toned and patriotic na'ional objects and spirit, -hough lie entertained much repugnance to secret societies, he was pursuaded to present himself for interrogation at the portals of one of the lodges of the so-called American order. As the obligation of the secrecy had been removed from all persons in reference to that order, he felt justified in stating what there
occurred. He was asked what was his name, where he was born, what religion he professed, what was the religion of his iric; and, finally, would he bind himself never to vote for a Catholic? When this (question was put to him he withdrew in disgust. That vas no place no party for him. "What, then, was he to do?

"Mr. Clay then proceeded to urge upon his ojd whig friends, the companions and eonstituents of his father, to rally around that banner which he had spent his life mUt yet be unlurled. After death there was the resurrection. But at present there was no whig organization, and the only parly of the Union was that of which Bu-! chanan and Breckinridge were the candi-1 dates. irriin and corruption.

Extract from Senator Douglas' Speech AT THE RATIFICATION MEETING IX NEW YORK CITY.
We mako the following extract from the strong, able and logical speech of Senator Douglas, recently delivered in Xew York. Mr. Douglas said: Instead of carrying out their pledges, they now wish to ignore evry plank of their platform, they desire to dodge all the issues, and in lieu of it make up a side issue upon the recent events in the Territory of Kansas. Xow what are those events? They tell us that civil war, bloodshed and violence prevail ia Kansas! Why is that? Is it the result of the Kansas Nebraska Bill? Bear in mind, my countiymen, that the same law, the same act of Cor.gress, which created Kansas created Nebraska; both Territories depend upon the same organic law, and have the same rights, the same principles secured to them. And yet, in Nebraska there has been peace, harmony, quiet, good will every thing to gladden the heart of a patriot. (Applause.) On the other hand, in Kansas, you have rebellion against the law, violence, murder, house-burning, bloodshed every crime that can disgrace humanity. Why is it that both being under the same organic law in one Territory every blessing that - l i i. e .i a free tieoplc can desire, results trom the! Kansas act, while in the other, everything that can disgrace free institutions has oc-l curred? What is the cause of this difference? You will find the cause in the action r .1 . , l. -;...;....n.r ,.-.,1 01 u.oae " -IT - the ebraska Bill, resolved and determi ?ed v-u"1"' . -- .. , . ., . ,. , : . .......I.i.. ir . .1 mna lir I in vi i nnti iv lie 1 1 ' 7 7 . . .. , S sWM he perpetrated tinder it. In .Vbn- ! ka, where peace prevails, the Aboiiiionists it 11 I and their emigrant socie les, don t extend a j their influence. Foreign mte,f,renco was j kept out; the people were allowed to regu - laic their own a Hairs 111 their own way, un - , molested ami undisturbed by foreign ukc- ; f-renee.

On the other haul, " j Kansas you iiml that the ew Kngland Emigrant Aid öoeiet-, tiinuigii corporati'ns, with a combined capital of 85.0ÜÜ, - ' J . O'lO, undertook to regulate the affairs of a Territory fif.ee 11 hundred miles off, and to control the liberties of the people, with re- ! sct to their rights and interests in the Territory.

For every drop ' of blood that has or shall be shed in the Territory of Kansas, the black republican leaders are responsible.

They tell us the laws enacted by the terj mortal Legislature are baroarous and inhuman. The law s comprise a large volume. j of at least a thousand pages, containing numerous enactments, protecting every interest in society. et out of that long list of laws, only two short enactments have been specified as being either unjust or im proper. (Applause.) The first relates to the question of slavery, and the second regulates the allairs of elections. It is worthy of remark, and should never be forgotten, that under neiiher of these laws has any one case arisen which was objected to as being improper. No one case has ever yet arisen, no writ ever been issued, no trial ever occurred under either of these two obnoxious laws. Then what excuse is there for that violence? These men, these black republicans, sent their agents there to get up strife and bloodshed, to be copied into ab'-liiion papers here fjr poli iial cllcct. Conti ibutions are taken up lo buy rille to send to m n that they may resist the law. Preachers adopt 1 itles as the instruments of salvation, instead of the Holy .Seriptines.

Now, it is bimply a question in Kansas, whether law shall prevail, or violence triumph it is a quc&tion of the Guprcraacy of the law
over rebellion against the constituted authorities. The black republicans being in the minority are determined to accomplish by violence what they cannot at the ballot-box, and yet we are called upon in Congress to brin"- forward some measure to restore peace in Kansas.

Iam neiiher for Duehanan nor Fillmore, for Stockton or Gerrit Smith, and certainly not for Fremont, knowing him as I do. Sine 1 have stepped so far out of my proper sphere as to appear before the public in the character of a newspaper paragraph writer, I hope to be excused for telling who I am, and how I came in possession of this ufomwlion, and a great deal more on the same subject vet untold. I went to California, in 1Ö4G. with Commodore Stockton, and was, at that time, a lieutenant of nijore than eleven years stand - ing, and during his operations there, I was for some time his aid-de-camp and quartermaster of the forces. I was present, aiul assisted, with my own hands, in hoisting our Hag at Santa Ihrbary, at San fedro, and at Duebla los Angeles, and I was at Iii latter place the next officer in rank to Commodore Stockton, when first lieutenant ami brevet Cnpt.

Vallejo, as described, took place, and that I never heard before; but all of the adventure and tho gallantry attributed to j
